Doll's Vest Completed

 

Yesterday started out sunny and quickly became cloudy. The high got to 13C. This morning it is showering and 11C. Today is supposed to be wet with a high of 15C.

Lifestyle

Confession time -- I turned on the heat for a while yesterday to warm up the house. It wouldn't get warmer than 18C and with no sunshine, it stayed cool inside. 

I started out the morning doing the balance sheet. One small error on my part which I caught quickly. I was done before I knew it, had it all cleaned up and ready to do the next job on my to-do list.

While laundry was on, I got chicken thighs into the Instant Pot to cook. I was able to shred the chicken and put it into small bags to freeze for soup. The broth was divided into 2 portions and frozen also. 

Laundry dried and I got it folded and put away. A first in a long time where I got it completely done in a day. 

I was out quickly to family's to take back all the tubs for sandwiches. I didn't see son as I was wanting to get back home quickly. 

Sewing

I spent time sewing tiny snaps on to the vest. I didn't loose any but they were hard to work with. I sewed buttons on top of the snaps and when done, I called it a day. 

I do like it a lot; it fits the dolls perfectly and goes well with the skirt. 

I cleaned up the mess I had made and called it a day. 

Knitting

I did none last night. I rested my left wrist which was sore from knitting. It is fine today. 

Thoughts

    The storm we were to have tomorrow is here today. I am sure it is the dregs of the hurricane going south of Nova Scotia. We will have showers and rain until it's gone. It will be warm on Wednesday which is a sign it is tropical not northerly. 

    I just got a notification that I have an appointment at my doctor's office on Monday. I will be emailing them as I am not sure what it is. I am assuming it is my flu shot. I am happy about that as I need it and my Covid vaccine. 

    Daughter let me know that Ruger won the "pageant" today. New judge who liked him. He is 3 points from becoming a dual champion. Clark earned 2 points on the weekend which is great for a puppy. He is not a year old yet. I am sure he will be a dual champion also. 

    I need to get my therapy lamp out and start using it. I have done well this fall as we have had enough sun to keep me happy. We will now have less sunshine so I need to have more lights on in the house and the lamp to help me feel "happy" as grandson said when he was 5 years old. 

Today

I plan on doing some housework this morning to keep busy. This afternoon I would like to start the Christmas placemat and make the flying geese. Tonight I want to knit on the afghan. It will be a quiet Thanksgiving for me. I am okay wth that. 

Until the next time........................................................
